Kate92 – I looked up Monika Ell, and I actually ended up liking him more than the others you posted.

Thanks everyone for the links. They all seem like excellent performers! Watching all of these, I’ve realized that maybe I’m wanting a more gender-neutral style. I’ve been watching some videos of women, too. The more ‘masculine’ videos (whether the dancer is a guy or girl) seem to be all about showing off strength, and some of the ‘feminine’ videos I’ve seen seem to be more about moving in more of a sexy way, again whether it’s a guy or a girl. I think I’m going to stop worrying about the spectrum of masculinity and femininity and just learn to do it in a way that suits me. 🙂 Thanks again for all the great links – I enjoyed watching them!

As for losing weight – thanks for the tips on that, too. I’m a swimmer so I’ve been getting back into swimming for losing weight, and I kind of wanted to save getting a pole for my big reward once I’ve achieved my goals. I may reconsider and get one earlier, though. 😛
